That's as good of a guess as anyone could make...TOO accurate! That is EXACTLY why I want a mono switch. I also play a lot of older Classical recordings and would like to hear them at their best.Yes, I could get a mono cartridge...if I was wealthy and could afford another arm. I'm far too lazy to switch cartridges back and forth on the same arm. A mono switch...a REAL mono switch would be wonderful!
I just played a Starker piece I ran across, thinking it would be great, and it was, but I realized after I'd cleaned it that it was one of those dastardly re-channeled LPs. Another time that a mono switch was needed.
Or we could get a time machine and go back and tell record execs that they have to sign a contract NOT to make re-channeled records. "I assure you, either your signature or your brains will be on this contract!"
I can live with monos being played as if they were stereo LPs. The eerie sound on some of those re-channeled LPs is reason to commit murder.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!

Nice mono switch right on the front. Cornet II at left.

And don't forget the midrange knob that was on Realistic receivers!Seriously, that looks awesome. Someone even knows that cartridges don't always have perfect channel balance. But a subsonic filter for wraped records would be nice. Yeah, I know you guys don't have any wraped records...
Indeed. As if adding echo and mis- shapen soundstages would fool anybody (like myself, as I somehow continue to wind up with these things)
Thanks
surprises that say "Electronically reprocessed---------etc." on the jacket but turn out to be true mono after all. I have several of these.
